- LIMINAL SPACES was written in early 2022 for Thomas Stein and the UMKC Tuba/Euphonium Ensemble. Liminal spaces are often described as unsettling, yet nostalgic locations frozen in time that are transitions between two other places, realms, or states of being. This work consists of five distinct movements, each inspired by five specific pictures (included in the score) that conjure up the feeling of liminality.
I. A Dimly Lit, Worn-down Alley on a Humid, Lonely Night
II. Running Down Endless Green Hills Below a Cloudless Sky
III. A Familiar Hotel Hallway with a Buzzing Ice Machine a Few Doors Down
IV. A Quiet and Foggy Morning on a Snow-covered Suburban Street
V. Party at the Roller Rink
